If you haven’t heard of Tapping or EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), you might think it’s weird. And if you have, you might want to how works and if it actually does? Can you break this down for us, please?We call it tapping because we’re literally tapping on endpoints of meridians on our body, while focusing on what’s stressing us out or challenging us. It’s a combination of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. Latest research is showing that when we tap on these endpoints on the meridians, while focusing on the stressors in our lives, it sends a calming effect to the fight/flight part of our brain—the amygdala. So we’re retraining the brain to react differently to that stimulus of whatever is bothering us.
